Anyway, enjoy, and happy new year!

Chapter Four: Completely Lost
-------
He was so handsome. There's no words to describe his enormous beauty. I wanted him... I reached out for him, I longed to embrace him in my arms, feel his lips against mine.
But then it hit me.
Maybe because Emerald whacked me in the head with a stick, and abruptly disturbed my good sleep.
"I'm not...a morning...person" I whined, rubbing my forehead as I tried to crawl out of my sleeping bag.
"Emerald wants breakfast! Breakfast! Pancakes! Waffles! Come on!" she screeched, and I sighed and pulled my pillow over the head.
"Let me sleep, Emerald!" I said and tried to go back to sleep as quick as possible, to catch the vision of him again.
"WAKE UP!"
Another punch with the stick. Now right in my stomach and I screamed in pain.
Can't believe she can swing so hard. She's like a couple of inches high, and she doesn't even have hands.
"WAFFLES, RUBY! We must find a waffle house!" Emerald yelled.
"We have some in the backpack.." I mumbled. "You can..."
"In your dreams, sweetheart!" Emerald said, putting on her deepest basetone. "Your waffles could kill an elephant! Emerald not touching rotten waffles!"
"I guess I have to get up then." I sighed and got out from my warm, cosy sleeping bag. "I don't know where we'll find a waffle house though."
....................
"According to this piece of paper..."
"It's called a map" I said, sarcastically. Aww, I love to tease her.
"Well, map... The mappie says that we're almost there!" She said, with an obvious tone of self-esteem in her high-pitched voice.
"You've been saying that for the past two hours." I muttered, and kicked a stone into the grass.
"We just need to..." Emerald paused and glanced on the map. "Go one mile south, three miles east past a blue line and then it's straight up!"
"Brilliant." I said and took the map from my caterpillar-Pokémon. "You've been holding it upside down."
"Oh... Is that why the letter in front of North suddenly changed to S?"
I whacked her head with the map.
"Great, Emerald. A couple of minutes ago, we were lost. Now, we're completely lost. From now on, I'll read the map."
"You can't do it as good as Emerald!" Emerald teased in my ear. "Ruby is a stupid girl. Ruby will make herself and poor Emerald end up on the bottom of the ocean, or inside a giant, human-eating tree. Stupid girl."
"Emerald... Can't you be quiet?"
"Yes, Emerald can. But Emerald doesn't want to. HA!"
I sighed again. She was already about to go on my nerves.
.................
"Emerald, it can't be tiring sitting on my shoulder!" I sighed and sat down in the grass, as we took our fifth pause in thirty minutes.
"It is. Really." Emerald ensured and stretched out her little body in the grass.
"Well, maybe because it takes such a huge amount of energy just keeping your brain from falling apart" I muttered.
We didn't say anything more, instead, we took a nice, pleasant nap. And I dreamed a nice, pleasant dream.
...............
After our nap, we continued to walk around aimlessly inside the forest, which never seemed to end.
I had already threwn away the map, since we were lost already. It probably didn't even show the right part of the world.
"Hold it right there!" Someone suddenly said from behind. "Are you a trainer?"
I turned around, as I quickly held a finger in front of Emerald's mouth. A man, looking like an overweight pig stood in front us. He was probably twice my width, and at least a head higher than myself. His fingers were thick like hot dogs, and they firmly held a Pokéball.
"I bet my Machamp can kick that Caterpie of yours back to the stone age"
Emerald tried to say something, but I quickly slapped her over her mouth.
"What are you doing?" The fat man asked, as his grip around the Pokéball tightened. "Come on, let's fight! I WANT TO FIGHT!"
"Um... We can't!" I said.
Emerald in a fight? That's more unlikely than having me do 300 pushups because I think it's fun.
"And why is that?" The man asked and took a step closer. "You know the rules, girl. If two trainers have eye-contact, it automatically means that you have to fight."
"We didn't have eye-contact!" I gasped.
"We do know, pretty."
"We can't fight!" I repeated. "You know, my Pokémon...She's..."
"She's what?"
"Um. Sick!" I spat out, since that was the answer that seemed the most... um... logical. "Yes, she has schizofrenia! She's totally lost. A psycho, according to the doctor."
"She sure doesn't look like a psycho." The man took another step towards me, and I was getting worried.
"Well... She is!" I assured, still holding a hand in Emerald's face to prevent her from saying anything. "Um, she's going to the doctor to get executed... uh, I mean examined."
"Is that true?" The fat man asked, frowning his forehead.
"Talk, Emerald, talk" I whispered in her ear.
"You, fat guy over there!" She yelled, and I quickly put my hand over her face.
"See?!" I said, smiling anxiously. "She thinks that she's a human!
"That's bad... Really bad...Doctor, you say? Then what are you doing in the middle of the forest, when the city is in that direction?" He asked sharply and used his enormous hand to point to the right. "You are afraid to lose your money, aren't you, pretty?"
"Well... You see... I...." I ended the sentence.
So typically me, to solve the situation with violence. Quickly, I clenched my fist, took a step forward and punched him in the face as hard as I could.
He probably broke his nosebone, because a large crack was heard before he fell backwards and hit the ground, so hard that the ground shook beneath me.
"RUBY!" Emerald gasped between my fingers. "What are you doing, mean girl?!"
"Dammit!" I swore, and watched the fat man I just knocked. "It was a reflex."
"The fatty guy is going to be real mad at poor Ruby when he wakes up" Emerald stated, staring at the man who laid flat in the grass. "Ruby broke his nosebone! Violent girl! Faaaar too violent. Someday, you'll get yourself and poor, poor, innocent Emerald into prison."
"Ouch..." The man whined, and I practically jumped out of my shoes.
"He's waking up!" Emerald screamed. "Ruby, punch him again! Quick, use your kung-fu!"
I hesited, long enough to see him roll up on his feets.
"YOU!" He said, with salive dripping from his mouth as he picked up the Pokéball. "You punched me! Ursaring, attack them! Eat them alive!"
"Me think we should run" Emerald suggested quietly in my ear as a gigantic Ursaring materialized in front of us.
"Good plan" I said.. And then I, and my little caterpillar-Pokémon turned around and dashed into the woods.
And the giant Ursaring, and its furious, fat little trainer, ran after us.
.......................................
"RUN, Ruby! RUN!" Emerald shouted panically in my ear. "RUN! You're not running fast enough!"
"I'M NOT A RAPIDASH!" I yelled back, running for my life between the trees.
"YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO A RAPID DASH ANYWAY!" Emerald screamed. "Faster, Ruby! That Ursaring is going to eat poor Emerald alive!"
The Ursaring ran after us, every step it took made the ground tremble. It didn't even turn for the trees, it just ran them down like a giant bulldozer.
"IS HIS URSARING GOING ON STEROIDS, OR WHAT?!" I yelled. "URSARINGS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO RUN THAT FAST!"
"THAT ONE DOES, RUBY!" Emerald screeched. "I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
"YOU WILL NOT, EITHER! HE'S GOING TO GET TIRED SHORTLY!"
Me and my lies. The truth was, that I was so tired that my legs practically moved themself. If it hadn't been for that gigantic Ursaring, I would have been lying flat on the ground catching my breath.
But since Emerald doesn't have legs, I have to do the dirty work. I really wish I had been more enthusiastic on the gymnastic-lessons.
"RUBY! WATCH OUT FOR THE TREE!" Emerald yelled, but to late.
Suddenly, I hit something hard, felt my face practically getting mashed against the tree.
Things started to spin before my eyes, and I stumbled backwards, feeling my conscious flying away from me.
A dark shimmer lowered in front of my eyes, and I fell backwards and hit the ground.
The last thing I heard before I passed out, was Emeralds frantic voice.
"Ruby! WAKE UP! He's going to eat Emerald! Emerald is going to die!"
